Our little Caleb

Hooray! We have a new member of our family! Caleb James Pace joined us on July 19th at 4 pm. He is wonderful. He is a great sleeper . . . during the day . . . and just so sweet. I still need to get the pictures off the camera but you can see a few on my mom's blog here http://nettiepie22.blogspot.com/

Silliness

It turns out we have a little clown in our house who keeps us laughing every day.

This is a fairly regular style around here.

His "Smile" face 

Of course dad's hat is always fun

Keeping Cool

With all the record-breaking super hot, dry(ish) weather we've had here, Benjamin and I have found lots of ways to keep cool. The hose and sprinkler are always a great option. Ben is very good at aiming the water, so those who choose to join him should beware.

The city pool is definitely a favorite. Benjamin could run and play and stay in the water for hours if only mom could keep up. The other day we had to drag him out after two and a half straight hours of jumping and "swimming". It didn't seem to matter that his lips were blue and he was shaking like a leaf.

But if all else fails, we can always retreat to the air conditioning and just play trucks and trains for the afternoon.
